One of the best reasons to choose WordPress over other CMS and blog platforms is the huge community providing tips and resources on a daily basis. Following or subscribing to a few of these sites can be beneficial in learning new ways to optimize your site, latest plugin and theme releases, as well as ways to create better content.
When it comes to resources available, there is a long list. We’ve taken a few of the best resources and showcased them below, in no particular order. Each publishes WordPress news on a regular basis, has been around for quite some time, and many cover a wide array of topics in the design and development niche.
